Lyrics

He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an Athiest
A Jain, a Buddhist, a Baptist and a Jew
He knows he shouldn't kill
But he knows he always will
Kill you, my friend, for me
And me for you
He's fighting for Canada
He's fighting for France
He's fighting for the U.S.A.
He's fighting for the Russians
And he's fighting for Japan
And he thinks he'll put an
End to war that way
He's fighting for democracy
He's fighting for the Reds
He says it's for the peace of all
He's the one who must decide
Who's to live and who's to die
And he never sees the writing on the wall
But without him how could Hitler
Have condemned them at Dachau
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
He's the one who gives his body
As the weapon of the war
And without him all this killing can't go on
Yes, he's the universal soldier
And he really is to blame
His orders come from far away no more
They come from him and you and me
And, brother, can't you see
This is not the way we put an end to war
